Three times now, I've gone outside at my office, only to be tricked by a squirrel. Maybe it's the same one each time, or maybe they all have magical powers. Or maybe I'm just seeing things.
When I first go out the door, there is a suspended stairwell leading up. To the left of the stairwell [...]

Jess and I had a good time swimming last night. We played Water Volleyball too, but it was just one-on-one, which isn't as much fun as a real game. We counted the number of volleys we could do in a row, and only got to 8… once.
Anyone near Plano like Water Volleyball?

(I really need another place to put little stuff like this that no one really cares about except my friends and I. Putting it here really makes this site loose any direction that it might have otherwise appeared to have.)
Last night, CBS ran a 3 hour special on Charles Manson called Helter Skelter. Jess, being [...]

We made Pork Pad Thai for dinner: Pork with Pad Thai noodles, and basil in a sweet lime sauce. It was, hands down, one of the best meals I've ever made.

Afterwards, we got coffee at Starbucks and then Brad, Morgan, Justin, Jess and I headed [...]

Wednesday night, "while at the drum jam":http://revjim.net/item/10025/ at the Across the Street Bar, I had a little bit to drink. In my usual life, that would be all I would drink (with the exception of a glass of wine with dinner) for the next couple of months. But this last week has been far from [...]

I had a great time Friday night. I saw a lot of good friends, a lot of old friends, and met a few new people.
Jess and I went out to Julie's apartment. Mike and Lisa were there. Nick showed up later on. We talked. We drank. We went out for margaritas. We came back. We [...]

Last night I went to the Across the Street Bar drum circle with a few friends and Jess. It has been so long since I've drummed and it really felt good. I didn't do very well but I'm sure a large part of that is due to my need to get back into it. I [...]
